About This Pipe

It's a real shame that the hallmark on the silver band on this pipe is unreadable. I suspect that it's 1950s or 1960s, but we can't date it with any certainty without being able to read that hallmark. The grain is very nice, with excellent front-to-back cross grain and impressively tight birdseye on the front of the bowl.
